Replacing DACT stepped attenuator w/TKD non stepped one

Any comments on replacing a DACT Stepped attenuator (CT2) with a TKD (2500 series) continuous one?
I know there is talk about stepped vs. continuous ones here and elsewhere, but I just wanted to ask specifically about this.

Areas of interest are:
Resolution, especially in the bass.
Sonics in general.
Channel level matching (at 40db+ attenuation). (I note that at this level of attenuation, TKD specifies a match within 2.5db, which sounds like a lot to me, especially with headphones. There is no balance control and only the single volume control for both channels.)

I really would love a finer level of volume adjustment if possible but I'm afraid of degrading the sonics and channel balance, which are excellent with the DACT.

Thanks in advance for any comments.
